The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, is seeking proposals for the Jacob Riis Park Bulkhead Repair project in Queens, New York. This Design-Build RFP outlines general requirements for the bulkhead replacement, repaving, and repair of storm drain pipes, with an estimated project cost between $25 million and $100 million. Key aspects include a 1600-calendar-day completion timeframe, strict work restrictions, detailed administrative requirements, and comprehensive project scheduling. Contractors must provide qualified personnel, adhere to safety regulations, maintain specific insurance coverage, and utilize Primavera P6 for schedule management. The RFP emphasizes partnering between the contractor and government, detailed reporting, and compliance with all federal and state regulations.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District Dive Team conducted a visual and tactile underwater inspection of the bulkhead at Jacob Riis National Park from February 27 to March 2, 2023. This inspection, requested by the National Park Service, aimed to assess the bulkhead's condition for a preliminary rehabilitation design and cost estimate. The bulkhead, a steel sheet pile wall with tie rods, walers, timber piles, and a concrete cap, received an overall "Poor" rating, with some areas in "Serious" condition. Key deficiencies include voids and degraded concrete, holes in the sheet pile, exposed rebar, and loose tie rods no longer effectively retaining the steel sheeting. Numerous sinkholes on the landside of the concrete cap also pose safety hazards. The report emphasizes that localized areas of advanced deterioration significantly reduce the structural capacity, necessitating urgent repairs.
